Two Point Campus students can be an unbearable nuisance at times, but they pay for your monthly bonus and other incentives in-game. That means you have to make them happy. Sometimes just activities are enough to keep students happy, but other times the game asks you to bring their joy to a certain threshold. I know, it's a bit cumbersome and boring. With this guide, you will at least be able to remove some of the hurdles from this laborious process. Here's what you need to know about making students happy in Two Point Campus.

1_ Keep requests accessible
What matters is not how many toilets you have, but their distribution. Instead of building a big bath, spread it around the corners of campus and check this off your list. If students adhere to a strict timetable and don't get to the bathroom before cheeseball practice starts, it will bring their mood down. Of course, that's not your problem, but you can help them.
Make sure that almost every building on your campus has places to relax, vending machines to feed your students, places to take care of their bathroom and WC needs, and something to entertain them. That doesn't mean you need a student lounge in every building (but you can); it just means you have to leverage more items to make the objects they desire easily accessible.
2_ Fill your calendar with events
A great way to increase student happiness is to organize various events around campus: competitions, movie watching, concerts and parties. As long as you're making enough money, there's no reason not to fill your schedule. You can book group rotation at the student union and keep the cheeseball field full between practice sessions.
You can also keep the fun going for longer. Those red marks on the margins of scheduled events? These are handles that can be dragged out. So instead of having a quarter month party, you can fill a larger time frame. Just make sure the good times continue and your students will remain happy as sheep.
If you've gone deep into one of the stages and achieved a student happiness goal, this is the easiest way to get students above the threshold.
3_ Help them fall in love
How does love work? I think the answer to this question is hidden in the benches in the garden. Relationships are built on a scale. They basically level up. To help your students lead a fulfilling social life, you need to provide items for each of these levels. This starts with a simple counter or water cooler, then progresses to a counter with hearts on it. To go further than that, you may need to look at more exotic items like love trumpets, a rose garden, and a heart-shaped bed.
These are pretty easy to find. Open your general items menu. On the left is a tab for relationship items that will match the items you need. You can then hover over them to see what levels they cover. Make sure you throw them on the ground often. The distribution of items is also important in this regard, be sure to put these items in every corner of the campus to make your students taste love.
4_ Take care of your accommodation
This may shock you, but your students have an idea of where they put their feet at night. Students prefer beds in which they can be comfortable instead of simple beds. However, students do not need privacy, so you can make your dorms look more like a barracks.
Select a dorm room to see the rating of your stay. If it's too low, you can improve them by placing more beds or increasing the attractiveness of dorm rooms. While you're at it, make sure there are vending machines, arcade cabinets, and restrooms nearby.
5_ Train your staff on comedy timing
Teachers and assistants can also positively affect student mood. Staff have a stat you can use along with their other skills called comedy timing. This will temporarily increase student happiness.
However, when playing Two Point Campus, having an army of well-paid happy staff is extremely effective. It's not a bad idea to hire assistants trained in comedy scheduling to manage your stores and club stands. Students will be happy as long as they interact with someone with this skill.
6_ Increase the attractiveness of your campus
When students are at university, their environment has an impact on their emotional well-being. To have an attractive campus, you must make every part of the campus attractive, just as you distribute bathroom and vending equipment. This will require you to plant trees or add attractive walls.
The best way to make sure you have a good campus is to use the charm view in your visualization list. This will paint your campus green where it's nice, and brown where it's empty and trash that needs cleaning up where it's not.
7_ Remember both their mental and physical health
Most students don't want to be walking around with an injury, and it can take a lot of their happiness. The solution is to give them easy access to healthcare facilities that focus on both their mental and physical well-being.
Depending on your course, you may need quite a few medical offices. For example, witchcraft often results in pumpkin heads, so if you have this on your timeline, you'll need to make sure students have enough room to remove the pumpkin. You can also upgrade your medical offices; this may be the way to go if you're out of space but still have a large number of injured students.
Pastoral support is more of a population issue. We all have bad days, and mental health support can mean the difference between dropping out and learning to love yourself, no matter how badly you fail in school.
